It converts an expression from one data type to another.
CAST and CONVERT have similar functionality.
SQL CAST and CONVERT Syntax
Using CAST:
CAST ( expression AS data_type )
Using CONVERT:
CONVERT ( data_type [ ( length ) ] , expression [ , style ] )
Example of SQL Cast and Convert
SQL Cast and Convert - StringSELECT SUBSTRING('CAST and CONVERT', 1, 3)
Return Value = CAS (it get from index 1 to 3)
SELECT CAST('CAST and CONVERT' AS char(3))
Return Value = CAS (it get 3 char only)
SQL Cast and Convert - Date Time
-Converting date time to character data(vachar)
-The default values (style 0 or 100, 9 or 109, 13 or 113, 20 or 120, and 21 or 121) always return the Without century year(yy).
-Add 100 to a style value to get a four-place year that includes the century year(yyyy).
-Below is example for converting 1 format of date time to different format of date time, so that it can be use in various condition.
